A mysterious notebook falls into the hands of the student Light Turner, whereupon he realizes a great deal of power in himself. If he writes someone's name in the supernatural book while imagining their face, they will die. Intoxicated by his new divine abilities and guided by the god of death Ryuk, the young man begins to kill those whom he considers unworthy of life. Together with his new girlfriend Mia, he wants to rid the world of criminals. But when more and more criminals die inexplicably and the police investigations under the direction of Light's father James come to nothing, the master detective L comes on the scene. The brilliant investigator must use all his skills to finish the proceedings.
